In a tweet Transdev, which operates the Luas, said there are a “number of tech faults” and apologised for the delay.

“Good morning red line passengers, please be advised there are delays currently along the Red Line due to a number of tech faults,” the operator said in a tweet.

“Tickets are also valid on Dublin Bus. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.”
